OK, thank you again Rich.

Perhaps I should explain what I am trying to do here; I have almost NO experience with any of this stuff save I flashed a Motorola KRZR K1m from Sprint to Verizon a while back but I followed a simple step by step guide posted on a website.

I just found my old LG VX8700 in the basement and would like to resurrect it (why, I don’t know) and powering it on it just reads “Downloading” on front and main LCD’s and stays there and does not boot. So, I really don’t know what i am doing and thought i could fix it the same way i did the KRZR, but this is altogether different. That said, can someone please tell me where to begin?
